Java MSI Deployment Fun....

[sibasundar]

Works for us, we only have Windows 7. What is the error?

It is giving Error 1603 “Fatal Error During Installation”............

The script searches the correct versions, but during the uninstall part it is giving the above error.

We need the script to uninstall java static edition and also JREs present in the system. We need it to remove all the java versions in the system and install one needed version for our application. Please help.....

Could it be just that one PC? It works a treat for us.

Have you tried uninstalling manually to see if that gives the same error?

I have tried with several windows 7 PC, but it is giving the same error and when manually uninstalling, there is no error.

we have more than 3000 pc to uninstall and install the required one, so please help.....

Does a log file appear in "C:\Software-Deployment-Logs\" or whatever directory you specified on the command line when running the script?

The removal wont log anything.

 

You could always remove the java using the old way in MSI exec.

Are you sure? From the code, it looks like it is supposed to make logs for the removals as well. See this bit:

   
                  'Create MSIEXEC uninstall string.
                  strUninstallString = "MSIEXEC.EXE /X " & strUninstallKey & " /qn /norestart"
                  'Check and add the logfile to the uninstaller string.
                  If (strLogFilePath <> "") Then
                      strUninstallString = strUninstallString & " /l*v """ & strLogFilePath & strDisplayName & "_Uninstall.txt"""
                  End If

But I have not actually used the script!

Oh it might, i havent used it in a while, will have a look.

 

But it works with out 1,7000 machines. Maybe its UAC or something?

 

Does the log folder exist on the machines your having issues with?
